Then I managed to stop crying after 20 years and started to get my life straight after an extremely hard episode.

I have taken on the challenge of running a half marathon for the first time in my life. I am doing it for a friend who died of motor neurone disease in 2015, she was only in her mid forties. I’ve only started running in October last year. …
